Within the past few decades, soft rock has been transmogrified into an unappealing amalgam of soul, R&B, pop and whatever else confused people want to lump with it. Stick to the 1970s and 1980s time frame. This was music with meaning and substance. These musicians were so talented, they sounded better live than on the record. There were genuine musicians creating and performing real music. During that time period, there was some truly great music made. In this thread, I want to focus on soft rock love songs from the 1970s and 1980s. Usually, you could put an LP on and enjoy the whole record as an experience rather than just listen to a song or two.

You could put an LP on a Hi-Fi system and be taken away.

With this thread, I want to take you to another time and place, a time when the pure sound of analog recordings was widely available.
